Hey. Let's say I ofter ran into situation where if my
IG friend's psychic power hits - I'm totally screwed.
Canoptek Tomb Spyder's Gloom Prism seems like a nice counter measure:
Each time the enemy unit tries to target Spyder or a friendly unit within 3", with psychic power, roll a D6 if Psychic Test is passed. On 4+ the power is nullified and has no effect.
I know most of you are familiar with this upgrade, but I'm bringing it up for the exact wording.
Anyway - 1 Gloom Prism is only 50% nullification chance.
So than in Canoptec Spyder entry we read:
Any Canoptek Spyder may take a Gloom Prism - 15 pts per model
So it clearly states you can have up to three Gloom Prisms in the unit.
The way I understand it - if enemy targets Spyder unit or a friendly Unit which is in 3" rang from EVERY spyder in that unit - you can roll 3 times for nullification, as they are 3 separate items and it's not stated anywhere that additional Prisms have no effect, or that you cannot use multiple Prisms to shield same unit.
Also:
- prisms are not a save, so they are not limited by "pick the 1 best save" rule
- for ex. Ether Crystals have additional rule that changes how they work if enemy is in range of multiple Crystals, but doesn't disallow it
- no such regulation for Prisms
What do you think? I would probably use just 2 spyders, to have 2
D6 rolls, but wanted to explain situation above clearly.
